- Trajectories Are Parabolas From the graphs in Figure 3 the paths of projectiles appear to be parabolas that open downward. Eliminate the parameter r from the general parametric equations to verify that these are indeed parabolas. Figure (3) Paths of projectilesarrow_forwardEpicycloid If the circle C of Exercise 63 rolls on the outside of the larger circle, the curve traced out by P is called an epicycloid. Find parametric equations for the epicycloid. Hypocycloid A circle C of radius b rolls on the inside of a larger circle of radius a centered at the origin. Let P be a fixed point on the smaller circle, with the initial position at the point (a,0) as shown in the figure. The curve traced out by P is called a hypocycloid. a Show that parametric equations of hypocycloid are x=(ab)cos+bcos(abb) y=(ab)sinbsin(abb) b If a=4b, the hypocycloid is called an asteroid. Show that in this case parametric equations can be reduced to x=acos3y=asin3 Sketch the curve. Eliminate the parameter to obtain an equation for the asteroid in rectangular coordinates.arrow_forwardHuman Cannonball Graph the parametric equations in Example 5 and then find the maximum height of the cannonball, the maximum distance traveled horizontally, and the time at which the cannonball hits the net. (Assume the barrel of the cannon and the net are the same distance above the ground.)arrow_forward
